does anyone else that has dual monitors have some really shitty lag when running something on both screens and folding?
I never had the problem on windows XP but have always had it on 7
I also didn't have the problem when i was folding on an ATI GPU but have on ever nvidia

GPUs i have folded on just incase it may help
SLI 8800GT
8800gt(not SLI'ed)
SLI 8800GTS
8800GTS(current,not SLI'ed)
GTX260 216
hd4200
3870
4850

once again i never had the problem with ANY of the ATI's even the weak onboard.

It only took a week and some config changes, but I have 3 -bigadv on hook right now. Two are 2685 and one 2692(all good WU's). One finishes tonite, one tomorrow and I just started the 3rd, so 2.5days on that one. Gotta look into more WC'ing, as the hottest chip approached 90C yesterday(it warmed up a liitle this weekend). This same rig has a GTX460 in it, so if GPU3 bites into the -bigadv too much, I may have to do a card swap for a GPU2 card

Good ones on all three rigs - that is very good (luck). I too have a 2685. The first 5 frames were with GPU2 (24:02 = 52.272 ppd) and after that I took the GPU off the frame time went down to 22:53 (56.261 ppd). Overall I lose 1.200 ppd by not have the 9800 GTX+ but I save 60 watt. I'm sure that the penalty of running a GPU3 would greater then 1:07 TPF the question is the amount of extra watt you are willing to pay for the extra points a 460 would give you. My guess is that a 450 will brake even on the point side with the 611 pointers. Please do the experiment (take the GPU3 off for 10 frames or so) and report back.

What speed you running at.Mine is at 4GHz but it was a quick OC to get it running, haven't played with my memory timings yet.

Yeah I have two 460's in the same rig

So you both have 7 treads and I assume about the same OC but still there is a big difference in TPF. It seems two 460's are stealing from not only the "reserved" tread but also from the remaining 7. If Nasty is runing at 4.2 or so then the math is a bit more complex. I assume that neither rigs are dedicated to folding?
